thousand misses and more- /
Monday, March 26, 2007
It rained today. For some reason it made me miss a lot of things.
I suddenly remembered my grandfather and our old house in Cebu. I suddenly miss the smell of cigarettes and pomade on my grandpa. I miss how he meticulously cut the grass in the lawn until they all evenly stand out like those old green doormats we used to have.
I miss my mom. I miss how she makes fun of me and how she disturbingly makes me laugh even if I had the shittiest of days.
I miss the beach. I miss my old friends.
I miss writing and I especially miss painting.
I miss my dog Nikki. I remember back when I was a lot younger than today, when everything was just so simple and seeing her wag her tail as I come home from school made me happy.
I miss lazy sunday afternoons with my dad. Doing nothing but listen to the old hits on the radio.
I miss my Aunt Nannette and her eccentric taste in clothes and my Aunt Miriam's banana chips.
I miss cleaning my room so much that I've grown a custom to dust bunnies and hair on my bedroom floor.
I miss my first love. I miss how she kisses my nape and stares blankly across the room whenever we're in a fight.
I miss my nephews hug, my sisters laugh and my brothers cooking. I miss how my kuya amazingly comes up with weird hindu dishes with curry powder and ginger root in a jiffy.
I miss nonsense bisaya conversations with Anya. I miss the old Ynna, the happy Nyx, the way Tina rubs my ear lobe and I really miss looking at my friend Sarah's hand while she lights a cigarette while driving.
I miss hearing my patients 'thank you's and the smiles they give me every time I don't screw up their medications and bed tags.
I miss ate Alma's peach incense and the poor man's doughnuts at Dos Castillas.
I miss my friend Sherryl with her puruntong.
I miss having peanuts and Scrabble with my cousins.
...funny how a little drizzle makes you miss the old days. Being a "grown-up" sucks. I could go on forever missing these things but hey, it stopped raining-
i took a shot.
